(Times of Israel) Kinley Tur-Paz - I was there, in uniform, at the border with Gaza and saw a tremendous, supreme effort from our side to prevent Palestinian deaths and injuries. Our primary mission was to prevent thousands of Gazans from infiltrating into our territory and endanger civilians in the nearby communities. When there is no alternative, and live ammunition must be used to stop those who storm the fence, the soldiers make heroic efforts not to kill those on the other side. The IDF stations senior commanders at every confrontation point to ensure that every shot is approved and backed up by a responsible figure with proper authority. Every staging area has a large number of troops to make sure that soldiers are not put into life-threatening situations where they will have no choice but to fire indiscriminately. A situation where thousands of people rush you is frightening. It is extremely difficult to show restraint, and it requires calm, mature professionalism. I can testify that every bullet and every hit is carefully reported, documented in Excel spreadsheets, and investigated.2018-05-18 00:00:00Full Article
